ONE of the world's most prominent sex workers, Brooke Magnanti, has lashed out at Mia Freedman for comments she made on Q&A and subsequent commentary on her blog.
The two prominent women appeared on the first all female panel on the ABC show earlier this month to discuss issues affecting women - including the ethics of sex work.
Ms Magnanti is the woman behind the popular anonymous blog, 'Belle de Jour', who supplemented her income by working as a London call girl while completing her doctoral studies.
It was apparent that the two did not agree on much by the end of the show.
At one point MsFreedman said: "Let's be clear that no little girl grows up wanting to be a sex worker, thank heavens."
To which Ms Magnanti replied: "I know ones who did. I mean that's a pat line but I actually know ones who did. I'm sorry that it bothers you."
Since then MsFreedman has used their on-screen feud as fodder for a number of blog posts. In her most recent entry she reflects on the reasons why she won't apologize for her sex worker comments.
"To the sex workers and others who were agitating on social media and loudly demanding an apology from me, I'm going to disappoint you."
Magnanti has responded to Freedman on her own blog, The Sex Myth, insisting that she save an apology for her remarks as it would be "insincere".
"Here's the thing. I agree with Mia on this: I don't think she should apologise."
"Why not? Because if she did it would be insincere. My first impression when we met backstage was that she was insincere, and damn it, a successful lady editor like her should have the guts to be true to herself and stand by her opinions no matter what they are."
